Steps for Life

The Steps for Life 5k Run and Walk was first held in 2010 in South Florida to raise the money needed to add new stem cell and marrow donors to Gift of Life’s registry. Other locations have also held Steps for Life events, including Boston and New York City, and since 2020, Gift of Life also hosts a Virtual Steps for Life that anyone around the world can participate in. We hope you will join us for a fun, family-friendly morning outdoors at a Steps for Life 5k as we raise money to give hope to those in need of a matching stem cell or marrow donor.

2025 Steps for Life Virtual 5k

Join us for the Sixth Annual Gift of Life Virtual 5K as we fight to cure blood cancer and inherited immune disorders through stem cell and marrow transplants.

Your support of our Virtual 5k matters now more than ever. You can complete the race from any location and at any time! Run, jog, or walk on the road, trail or treadmill. Participate in your own race and at your own pace!
